Description

Random crappy comic I did last night, and colored it in today :D It is intentionally messy (again), coz I like me some messy art :la:

Yep, a lot Filipinos, usually the youth, use mixed up Tagalog and English for fun when talking (especially to friends and such). We call that Taglish. Funny it may seem, yet it's kinda important that we don't use it all the time.

Okay, so uh here are the translations:

1st ---> (1st bubble) I'm here already! Where are you? ~~ (2nd bubble) Really?
*note that the terms I used in the first panel are not used in real Filipino. It's Filipino slang. How it would really sound like in Filipino: Nandito na ako! Saan ka na? ~~ Talaga?

2nd ---> Just wait! I'm still reading this book!
*Yes, another example of mixing Tagalog with English. And the "rine-read" part? Well, from what I hear, only few people do that nowadays...hehe. Just wanted to add it :D

3rd ---> Oh France (I think), he's so naughty! BWISIT!
*there are times when I hear people saying an adjective twice to emphasize a description. Bwisit is a Filipino insult and/or expression.

*EDIT*
More translations and notes~

1st
*The words Piri says in the first bubble are more often used in text messages :D (Leave it to the text-loving country to make a new text language~ *ahem*jejemon*ahem*)

2nd
*another translation could be "Wait some more! I'm still reading this book!"

3rd ---> Oh, and about France...ugh! That boy, he's so naughty!
*Oh and it is better to use the term "Nakakabwisit" instead of "bwisit" when it comes to statements like these~

Thanks to :iconorangecrazyrandom: for the new translations!!! :D

Please tell me if I made any mistakes! Thanks!!! :D

Oh and sorry if anyone won't understand it at first!

I DON'T OWN HETALIA.
